Guided Project: Predicting Car Prices

In this course, we explored the fundamentals of machine learning using the k-nearest neighbors algorithm. To make learning smoother and more efficient, we learned about different topics in isolation.

In guided projects, we go one step further and combine some of the skills you learned to build a real project to put in your portfolio to help you land a job in data!. Moreover, we'll also make use of what we learned in the Introduction to Machine Learning course.

In this guided project, you'll practice the machine learning workflow you've learned so far to predict a car's market price using its attributes. The data set we will be working with contains information on various cars. For each car we have information about the technical aspects of the vehicle such as the motor's displacement, the weight of the car, the miles per gallon, how fast the car accelerates, and more

Working on guided projects will give you hands-on experience with real world examples, so we encourage you to not only complete them, but to take the time to really understand the concepts.

As with all guided projects, we encourage you to experiment and extend your project, taking it in unique directions to make it a more compelling addition to your portfolio!
